I had my first AP without intent but when I try and do it I fail..
I did nothing out of the ordinary so I have no idea why I cannot do it.
I fell asleep, woke up without moving and then I felt the vibrations, so I have no idea
why I can't do it again.. any help :|
I have the same experience.. all of my actual OBE/APs have been when I wasn't expecting them or even wanting them. Now that I want to, I can't have been unsucessful.. haha.. oh the irony. :roll:
Your both to focused on WANTING to Astral Project rather than focusing ON Astral Projecting which is what you should be doing.

The day was like any other.. but I do remember in fact trying to count my breath.. I went 1..2..3 and all of a sudden I fell asleep and woke up and then it happened. So I had a little subconscious intent of doing it but I was not consciously aware of it.. 8-)

Thats true but how do I focus on APing instead of wanting to AP.. if I'm trying to ap that is wanting so how do I end up
focusing ON it..

Starting an hour before you want to astral project put it in the back of your mind and when you go to bed practice a few mind awake/body asleep techniques, if and when you achieve this state try a few exit methods. The key is the intent on astral projection while not thinking about it.

You had a spontaneous projection... that's all. It'll happen more often now that you're actively pursuing projection.
When do you usually practice?

How the hell are you supposed to have intent while not thinking about it?

I sleep at 10 pm and then set my alarm for about 2 am and then that's when I project.
As for practicing I do it in the after noon so about 4 and 8 pm
Hrmm.. I have a "Power Nap" app for my iPod Touch.. the max is 90 minutes.. which is one sleep cycle.. so I suppose I could try that as that has an alarm to wake you up at the end. I can't really set the alarm to go off on my clock radio because my girlfriend would be woken up.
